Dish
Detective
Inspector Andy Ross pulled the unmarked police Mondeo to a halt, its right side
wheels pulled up on the pavement outside St. Matthew's Church in Norris Green
in an effort to avoid restricting the traffic flow along Brewer Street... There were already two police patrol cars
parked on the street, together with another pool car identical to his own which
he knew would have brought his assistant, Sergeant Clarissa, (Izzie) Drake and
Detective Constable Derek McLennan to the scene... As he neared the scene, Ross could see Dr.
Nugent on his knees, his assistant, Francis Lees beside him, both men obviously
intent on carrying out their initial examination of the body... "Oh, my God," Ross exclaimed as he
drew closer to the scene... "I told
you, sir," his sergeant said,
quietly. "Yes, but this... this is,
well, nothing short of bloody monstrous... the victim, a man in his mid to late
fifties, has been almost totally eviscerated... "Who found him,
Izzie?" "The poor bloody priest"
Father Gerald Byrne, along with his sister, grew up in Speke Hill, an orphanage that was run by the Roman Catholic Church. He developed a deep interest in theology and the Church which eventually brought him into the priesthood. After years of traveling all over the world it also brought him full circle back to St. Luke's where he would be not only their priest but also the priest of Speke Hill. But, shortly after his arrival the murders started. Bodies are being placed in various cemeteries after being totally disembowel and mutilated.
This book took me down a very winding road! As much as I tried to determine who was carrying out the brutal murders, the harder it was for me to justify my suspicions. And at the end... I was totally surprised. As always, Brian L. Porter has written another book that can't be put down. I can never get enough of his books. He has a Stephen King/Dean Kunze/Jeffrey Deaver frame of mind when he writes putting him right up there in their class of authors.
